(announcer) Previously, on
AMC's "The Walking Dead."
That true?
You wanna help?
I do.
Okay.
We have to get ready.
We have to fight.
We do.
(Rick) We get you the
guns, we fight together.
Say yes.
Yes.
They're out there, so I'm
gonna be there with you.
We are.
Package deal.
You have to get me something.
A knife, a gun
(Eugene) This will do it.
It's a poison.
[Donny Hathaway's "Someday
We'll All Be Free" plays]
[Buzzing in distance]
Hang on to the world
As it spins around
[Breathing shallowly]
Just don't let
The spin get you down
Think of moving fast
Hold on tight,
and you will last
Give your
[Donny Hathaway's "Someday
We'll All Be Free" plays]
[Low rumbling in distance]
Hey, darlin'.
Wake up.
Abraham: Hey, darlin'.
Wake up.
What is it?
Do we need to --
No, no, no.
We're okay for now.
[Sighs]
Well, good afternoon to you.
You're here.
Yeah.
[Sighs]
And I'm feelin'
all kinds of glad
to see you right now.
[Chuckles]
Are they back?
Not yet.
I know
you were pullin' late shift,
and you wanna tonight,
so I didn't want to wake you up.
[Sighs]
Maggie's in trouble.
What?
Something with the baby.
Rick's taking her
to the doctor at Hilltop.
He doesn't know it yet,
but I'm going with him.
I just
I know we just started this,
but I wanted you to --
Don't.
[Chuckling]
"Don't" what?
Don't go.
[Lock disengages, latch clicks]
[Door opens, hinges creak]
Welcome to the first day
of the rest of your life, Sasha.
You are gonna help make sure
things get back on track today.
You are smart, hot as hell,
dignified as shit,
and you don't suffer
one goddamn fool.
No one's gonna wanna
watch you die.
I don't wanna see that.
So you don't have to.
But someone does.
Maybe a couple others --
tops.
But not you and not most people.
We are gonna help solve
some shit.
Tuck in.
Big day.
What do you need from me?
Rick: Look at me.
Why?
'Cause I want it stopped.
I want Negan dead.
So why don't you kill him?
Can't just be me.
They're all Negan.
That girl you murdered
she had a name.
Her name was Denise,
and she was a doctor.
And she helped people.
I wasn't aiming for her.
[Gasps]
[Grunts]
[Breathing heavily]
Do it. Do it.
You wanna end it this way
you go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I am.
I know you want to.
He could just be here
to see if you were here.
We can't trust him.
Dwight: He owned me.
But not anymore.
What I did, I was doing it
for someone else.
She just got away.
So now I'm here.
So are you because of her.
Tara: Do it!
There's another choice.
Daryl.
Daryl, you knew her.
Negan trusts me.
[Breathing heavily]
We work together,
we can stop him.
You knew me then,
and you know me now.
You know I'm not lying.
I'm not.
Do it.
Do it!
[Breathing sharply]
[Breathing heavily]
[Breathing shallowly]
They have Sasha,
if she's even alive.
Jesus: Why didn't
you say something?
He could be our only chance
to get her back.
Rosita:
Because I don't trust him.
But I trust Daryl.
Negan's coming soon.
Tomorrow.
Three trucks probably.
20 Saviors and him.
I can slow them down,
bring some trees down
in the road,
buy a little time
for you guys to get ready.
If you can take them out,
that's where we start.
You kill them, I'll radio
back to the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary?
Where Negan lives.
That's what they call it.
I can radio back to them
and say everything's okay.
You drive the trucks back,
and I can lead you right inside,
and, with the right plan,
we can wipe out the rest.
Check to see if your friend's
still alive.
Then, we get
the workers on our side,
build our numbers up,
and go from outpost
to outpost and end this.
Keep talking.
[Gate creaking]
Rick: We just started it --
the whole thing.
[Vehicle door closes, engine starts] If
he's lyin', I'm gonna kill him real slow.
When this is done,
I don't give a damn
if he's sorry.
I will kill that son of a bitch.
If he's lying,
this is already over.
[Gate creaking]
Someday we'll all be free,
yeah
Oh, I gotta go.
Abraham: Oh, I gotta go.
Fact is, I figured we'd --
I had a dream.
You
You had a dream about me?
You died.
Negan:
That's the plan.
That's what I need from you.
And when you come out,
not a peep.
They will stand down,
if they haven't already.
And then, Lucille here,
well, she gets her three,
and we move forward
with a new understanding.
[Chuckles]
Are you --
Are you shitting me?
Is that real?
I can do it,
but no one has to die.
You are wrong.
Punishment --
can't do anything without that.
Punishment is how we built
everything we have.
You think I'm gonna sit here
and let you --
Careful!
You are not letting me
do anything.
No one has to die.
[Scoffs] Okay.
How about this?
One.
Just one.
I mean, I was gonna
pull three outta the pool,
but just one
and just for you.
Okay.
Just one person has to die.
[Chuckles]
[Sighs]
You got me wrapped
around your little finger.
You know that?
And it's not a man/woman thing.
I mean, if you had a dick,
I would still have
these feelings.
We roll out in 45.
[Hinges creaks, door slams]
So we don't have Oceanside,
but we have their guns.
Negan has Sasha.
Daryl wants us to trust Dwight.
Rick wants us to stay here
in case things go wrong
so there's another card to play,
another safe place
the Saviors think they control.
But he doesn't know
that Gregory's gone
that maybe
he's telling them things
that'll make them think
something else.
And it's all about to happen.
You're thinking of leading
the Hilltop over there to fight.
I am.
If Negan finds out
they're planning something,
they're gonna need help,
even with those Scavengers
on their side.
Well, you'd have
to decide right now,
and it's a very tough decision.
Why are you smiling?
'Cause I'm glad you're
the one making it for us.
[Scoffs]
Judith: [Coos]
How do I?
Jesus: I don't know.
I just know you can.
[Coos]
Let me take her.
You take this.
[Babbles]
Enid: Yeah.
Mm. Hmm?
Guns up, now.
[Guns cock,
Shiva growls lightly]
What the hell?
He's dead.
What is it?
We've seen this before.
[Shiva growling softly]
Morgan: Same ones.
[Sighs]
Jerry: Dude, you okay?
You're gonna ambush them
on your own?
Yeah.
Going alone
doesn't work for this.
It works for me.
Have you killed any of them?
Because if you have
and they've found out,
they may think
it was the Kingdom,
and we lose our advantage.
It's from walkers.
Daniel:
Can we move them aside?
[Shiva growls lightly]
Do you seek to extinguish
everything of who you were?
I don't seek it, but
I'm stuck.
You want the Saviors dead?
Morgan.
Yes, I do.
Cease this folly.
Accompany my regiment.
The Saviors are a dragon
with many heads,
their numbers legion.
We must seek allies
in this endeavor.
That's Benjamin's armor.
Do you wear it to serve you,
or do you wear it in his honor?
Morgan
you are not stuck.
Join us on this journey
to create an alliance.
Fight with us,
and we shall defeat them
so that no one will suffer
under their capricious
malevolence ever again.
And we start
once more for the fallen
for the Kingdom
[Shiva growling softly]
Ezekiel:
for the glory of victory.
Ho!
[Birds chirping]
[Vehicles approaching]
[Brakes squeak]
[Engines stop, air brakes hiss]
[Gate creaking]
[Creaking stops]
[Gate bangs]
What you fight for.
Not the place --
the people, each other.
You're a part of that now.
We take.
We don't bother --our way.
Maybe another way.
Yours?
Yeah, we're together.
I lay with him after.
You care?
We should get back to work.
Yeah.
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Chainsaw buzzing]
Think this was them?
Negan:
Crossed my mind.
We got a plan "B."
If I might be so bold
this unexpected stoppage
has given me
the chance
for an exhaustive mull.
Now, given
the loaded circumstances
and potential for casualties
and resource expenditure,
I was wondering if you would
give me the opportunity
to attempt to slow their jets
and cool their roll.
[Chainsaws buzzing]
[Brakes squeak,
engine shuts off]
You shoot one of these before?
Good.
Worry?
[Sighs]
No.
Good.
I'll be on the next one over.
Why?
It's more sight lines
if we split up.
I'll go.
You sure?
Okay.
We win.
Yeah.
[Donny Hathaway's "Someday
We'll All Be Free" plays]
[Breathing shallowly]
[Rumbling in distance]
You know what's gonna happen,
how this is gonna end.
You know what's gonna happen,
how this is gonna end.
We're gonna walk
out that door together.
We kick shit and eat snakes.
That's us.
We can sit this one out.
They need us here, anyway.
Rick said to get ready
for a fight.
How'd I die?
[Sighs]
We were at the beach.
It was before.
Mm.
You got pulled under
and you didn't come back up.
I was trying to find you,
but you were gone.
And then, I started to drown.
I hate the beach.
[Sighs]
End of the day in a wet suit?
It's like you're sandblasting
your nutsack
every single step
you take back to the car.
[Laughs]
[Chuckles]
Luckily, the seaside ain't
on the agenda today.
Just security
and some road to chew.
All right?
So, come on.
Let's go help Maggie.
Abraham.
What?
They can use us here.
[Sighs]
Just once, we sit one out.
Someone else --
It should be us.
Maggie's gotta take care
of Maggie.
Have you, uh, changed your mind
about taking
that allergy medication?
Yes.
Good.
I think you'll get adjusted
to the place, sinus-wise.
No, I won't.
Not like you.
Everyone has a way out.
Don't go and yuck my yum
for takin' mine,
which, I may add,
is the same as yours now.
If people die today, it's 'cause
of the choices they made.
Yeah. It is.
[Sighs]
Why are we here?
[Birds chirping]
For this.
[Turkey call sounding]
[Turkey call sounds in distance]
[Suspenseful music plays]
Rosita.
Get into position.
I'll signal you.
And the wall's gonna hold?
It'll hold.
[Vehicles approaching]
Eugene:
All points are covered.
Every contingency is
already met.
I come armed
with two barrels of the truth.
A test is upon you,
and I'm giving out
the cheat sheet.
[Brakes squeak]
[Air brakes hiss]
[Engines shut off]
H-Hello.
I come salved with the hope
that it is my dropped knowledge
that you heed.
Options are zero to none.
[Sighs]
Compliance and fealty are
your only escape.
Bottom-lining it --
You may thrive, or you may die.
I sincerely wish for the former
for everyone's sake.
The jig is up
and in full effect.
Will you comply, Rick?
Where's Negan?
I'm Negan.
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Sighs]
[Sighs]
[Sighs]
[Guns cock]
[Lock clicks]
[Gate thuds]
[Breathing heavily]
No.
[Rifle cocks]
We win.
[Suspenseful music plays]
You ever hear the one about the
stupid little prick named Rick
who thought he knew shit
but didn't know shit
and got everyone he
that gave a shit about killed?
Negan:
It's about you.
You're all gonna wanna put
your guns down now.
No one drops anything.
We had a deal.
Tamiel came for the boat things.
Followed ones who took.
Made a better deal.
[Sighs]
Negan: You push me,
and you push me.
And you push me, Rick.
You just tried
to blow us up, right?
I mean, I get me, my people.
But Eugene?
He's one of yours.
And after what he did --
He stepped up.
You people
are animals.
Universe gives you a sign,
and you just
shove your finger
right up its ass.
[Laughs]
Dwight, Simon, chop-chop.
[Sighs]
So, you don't like Eugene
anymore.
You guys gotta like Sasha.
I do, too.
Got her right here
packaged for your convenience,
alive and well.
Now, I brought her so I wouldn't
have to kill all of you,
and not killing all of you
could get complicated.
See, I know there's a lot of
firepower left in there, Rick.
So I'm gonna make this simple.
I want all the guns
you've managed to scrape up.
Yep, I know about those, too.
I want every last grain
of lemonade you got left.
I want a person
of your own choosing
for Lucille.
Daryl --
Ooh, I gotta get me
my Daryl back.
I see you.
And the pool table
and all the pool cues and chalk.
And I want it now
or Sasha dies,
and then all of you.
Probably.
C'mon, Rick.
Just because I brought her
in a casket
doesn't mean
she has to leave in it.
[Sighs]
[Chuckles]
You know what?
You suck ass, Rick.
You really do.
I don't want
to have to kill her,
but that's exactly
what you're gonna make me do.
Let me see her.
[Chuckling] Oh.
All right.
Just give me a second.
I might have
to get her up to speed.
You can't hear shit
inside this thing.
Sash.
You're not gonna believe
this crap.
[Donny Hathaway's "Someday
We'll All Be Free" plays]
It felt real.
It felt real.
Like we lost this.
[Sighs]
And this just started.
[Sighs, sniffles]
C'mon.
Wait.
[Sighs]
I like the way
you call bullshit.
So let me return the favor.
The next thing
you're gonna tell me
is that you'll go
and that I can stay.
Because I know you didn't like
hearing yourself just say
that, "Maggie's gotta
take care of Maggie."
I know those words
are gonna choke in your ears
a good, long while
and you're gonna wanna make up
for even thinking that.
Am I right?
Yeah.
We lay our big meaties
across the chopping block
ahead of someone else's.
It's always for someone else.
Both of us know,
if we're gonna kick,
there sure as hell better be
a point to it.
So maybe we feel there was
a-a point to all of this.
Alpha to omega.
Whether it's
on the battlefield or the beach
or somewhere out there today.
Maggie --
She's carrying the future.
You're right.
[Sniffles]
I knew how this was gonna end.
C'mon.
Layin' your ass
on the line for someone else,
tearin' it to shreds
for 'em --
You said it before.
Oh, my, that is living.
[Chuckles]
You're an idiot.
I never said otherwise.
[Sighs]
A couple hours
to get there, right?
At least.
Might be a circuitous
and janky route.
With what they're planning,
they could be watching
the roads.
"What they're planning."
That's right.
Got it in the marketplace.
It's chock-full.
Doubt conversation will be
on tap for the commute.
And though
I am a selfish coward,
I do tend to think
of other people on occasion.
Please take it
with my compliments.
I truly wish I measured up.
You still can, Eugene.
I'm not giving up.
Not on you.
Jesus, you don't have to take
the trip in the thing.
I could use the rest.
No shit?
Yeah.
I just want to go to sleep.
I just need a little bottle
of water, and I'm fine.
[Breathes deeply]
Arat? [Sighs]
Listen
I know how tough this is.
And I appreciate it.
Damn, you are something else.
[Knocks twice on coffin]
[Lid creaks, thuds]
[Music player clicking]
[Donny Hathaway's "Someday
We'll All Be Free" plays]
[Engine starts]
[Engine rumbling]
Hang on to the world
As it spins around
[Sighs]
Just don't let
The spin get you down
Things are moving fast
[Knock on lid]
Sash.
You're not gonna believe
this crap.
[Growling]
Holy goddamn!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Gunfire]
[Groans]
[Both grunt]
[Gunfire continues]
[Grunts]
[Groaning]
Man: Go! Go!
No.
[Growling]
Aah!
[Grunts]
Honey, God damn it!
[Screaming]
[ Gunfire continues ]
[Shouts]
Plan "B" it is!
[Gunshot]
Down. Now.
We can make another deal.
Aah!
[Groaning]
Aah!
[Gunfire continues]
Said "down."
[Gunfire]
[Dramatic music plays]
[Gunfire in distance]
[Man shouting indistinctly]
[Gasps, groans]
Move.
Hello again.
Farron: [Growling]
Michonne: [Choking]
Aah!
[Gunfire in distance]
Down.
Or again.
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Men shout indistinctly
in distance]
Well, shit, Rick.
You just couldn't
stick with us, huh?
You had to go with
these filthy garbage people?
No offense.
Deal is for 12, yes?
People are a resource.
[Gunfire in distance]
[Chuckles]
[Sighs]
Rick.
This is just gonna make you sad.
Broken.
You're gonna wish you were dead.
[Sighs]
I like having fun.
I do.
But maybe you think
that the guy that did
what he did
to your friends wasn't me,
like that was some sort
of a put-on,
like I'm not
the guy with the bat --
I'm just the guy that makes
your kid spaghetti.
[Gunfire in distance]
Oh.
Oh, shit.
Maybe this is on me.
Maybe this is all on me.
[Gunfire continues]
I gotta make it right.
I guess I gotta start
all over again.
I gotta tell you, Rick,
if I had a kid,
I'd want him
to be just like your kid,
which makes this so much harder.
You're not gonna win.
Carl.
It is over.
Why don't you point
your one ball
up the street there
and take it all in?
[Dramatic music plays]
[Grunting]
We'll win!
We live!
We're the ones!
Us!
[Grunts]
[Woman screams]
[Gasps lightly]
[Chuckling] Ohh.
Oh.
Wow.
You just lost
somebody important to you
right now --
like, just now.
Jesus.
That is timing.
Well, Rick
you chose this.
I truly don't know what more
I could've done to warn you.
And this isn't a warning.
This is punishment.
I'm gonna kill Carl now.
I'm gonna make it
one nice, hard swing,
try to do it in one
because I like him.
I just want you
to put that in your brain
and roll it around for a minute.
I'm gonna kill Carl,
and then Lucille here,
she's gonna take your hands.
You can do it
right in front of me.
You can take my hands.
I told you already --
I'm gonna kill you.
All of you.
Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow
but nothing is
gonna change that --
nothing.
You're all already dead.
[Chuckling]
Damn.
Wow, Rick.
Okay.
Negan: [Grunts]
[Ominous tones play]
You said I could do it.
[Shiva roars,
all shout indistinctly]
Man: [Screaming]
[Gunfire]
[Horse neighs]
[Dramatic music plays]
End these Saviors
and their accomplices!
Alexandria will not fall,
not on this day!
[Gunfire continues]
[Screaming]
[Rifle cocks]
Aah!
Phalanx out, third group, now!
Move up!
Now we got your backs!
[Horse neighs]
A goddamn tiger!
[Gunfire continues]
That widow is alive,
guns a-blazin'!
[Machine gun clicks]
You taste that, Simon?
That is the taste of shit!
[Shiva growls]
[Gunfire continues]
[Gunfire continues,
bullets ricochet]
[Gunfire in distance]
Rick:
They're falling back.
Maggie: Eduardo, Bertie,
between the houses --
Cover the gate!
[Gunfire in distance]
Let's go.
Ezekiel:
Now we finish this!
[Horse neighs,
gunfire continues]
[Gunfire, bullets ricocheting]
[Horse neighs]
[Gate creaking]
Now!
Pull!
[All grunt]
[Ominous tones play]
[Both panting]
[Breathing heavily]
[Somber music plays]
[Latch clicks, door opens]
Michonne.
Michonne.
[Breathes shallowly]
[Sighs]
Oh, you're alive.
[Breathing heavily]
We -- W-We're
We're
I know. I know.
[Gasps]
I know.
We are.
We will.
[Crying]
Getting preparations in place.
Everyone's
on "blue level."
You say the word,
they're ready to go.
That's good.
How the hell do you think
she wound up dead in that box?
My, um, best possible posit
fingers the tarp.
That sealed up said box
good and tight.
She ran out of air.
[Ominous tones play]
Maybe.
[Sighs]
So
we are going to war!
All: Yes, sir!
[Somber music plays]
Rick: Do you think
Sasha did that herself?
Maggie: I don't know how,
but I know she did.
She gave us a chance.
You did.
You made
the right decision to come.
The decision was made
a long time ago,
before any of us knew
each other,
when we were all strangers
who would have
just passed each other
on the street
before the world ended.
And now we mean everything
to each other.
[Knife unsheathes]
You were in trouble.
You were trapped.
Glenn didn't know you,
but he helped you.
He put himself in danger
for you.
And that started it all --
From Atlanta,
to my daddy's farm,
to the prison,
to here
to this moment now
not as strangers --
as family
because Glenn chose
to be there for you that day
a long time ago.
That was the decision
that changed everything.
It started with both of you,
and it just grew
to all of us
to sacrifice for each other
to suffer and stand,
to grieve, to give,
to love, to live
to fight for each other.
[no dialogue]
Glenn made the decision, Rick.
I was just following his lead.
